coast an obsolete notion and revolutionfZed
modern warfare; aud even those who deny
all this concede that the success of the
gun in the late experiment from Fort
Lafayette has opened new and impor-
tant field Of inquiry. Briefly stated, the
Zalinsld plan is to project the dynamite
bomb from a very long tube by means Of
compressed air, and the impulsive force is
not to be communicated all at once since
that would explode the bomb, but to be
cumulative from the breech to the nuz-
zlc of the tube, by means of successive
air chambers, SO that the bomb will
start slowly and leave the mouth Of the
tube at the greatest possible velocity.
This Is the first and most important prin-
ciple: and the second is like it in insuring
method by which the bomb cannot ex-
plode till 1t reaches its object. Two shells
were fired in the experiment; the first
missed tho condemned vessel used as q
target, but exploded near it in the water
with great effect, and the second literally
demolished the vessel-reduced it to slabs
and splintcrs.
The gun, or more properly tube, is q
monster OF sixty feet in length, and the
bomb-they call it a shell-is nearly six
feet in length. 1t goes without saying,
therefore, that the machine is strictly for
defense 1t could not be properly mounted
on war ship, with oil its apparatus for
condensing air; and even if it could the
motion of the vessel would be so exagge-
rated at the end of SO long tube that
there could be no intelligent directing of
tho projectile at a target. But the tube
is cheaper than an ordinary cannon ~ it
has an eight inch bore and the cylinder
wall is less than an inch thick, of wrought
iron lined with brass. 1t needs no
greater thickness because it has to
stand no sudden strain like a can
non. In fact, all that Is needed Is
a tube strong enough to hold the con-
densed dir and perfectly straight to give
direction. Tho shell is hollow brass
conc, shaped like rocket and with
brass foil--thc ordinary charge fifty to
sixty pounds CT dynamite gclatinc. which
is far more powerful than ordinary dyna-

YALE oARsmAN,s SAD FATE.


Crazed by Overstudy David HI. KEEL
lORg shoots Himself Through she
Heart at the Crocker House iR New
London.
NEW LONDON, CT, Oct. 21.-This afternoon
David 81. Kellogg of Spuyten Duyvil, N. Y,
committed suicide at the Croker House by
shooting himself through the heart. Deceased
was thirty years old and graduated from Yale
in 1876. For eight years he was with the
we'll known law firm of Lord, Day & Lord
He was natural student and signs of over
work were noticed year ago. Nine months
ago he was taken to private insane asylum
and discharged three months since. With
his mother and sister Grace he arrived at the
Croker House last Tuesday and the party
were assigned connecting rooms on the third
floor. Yesterday he acted strangely, but his
conduct was not of the character to cause
apprehension. This morning he ate break
times. After dinner he took short walk
room shortly after o'clock, bolted the door
leading to his mothers rooms and locked the
door leading to the hall. Shortly after 3
o'clock pistol shot was heard. Officers were
summoned, the door burst open and Kellogg
was found lying on the bed dead with his
shirt about the wound burning. The room
was filed with smoke Medical Examiner
Nelson was summoned and issued the usual
permit for burial. The Kellogg family re-
sided in this city from 1871 to 1875.
Mr.. Kellogg was a member of the famous
1876 crew, Of which Bob Cook was captain
and which beat the Harvard crew at Spring

A NEW OPERATING THEATER.

Mrs. Henry Farnam Gives $4,000 to
Erect One For the Hospita1-TO be
Erected ON the Congress Avenue Lot
The Prudential Committee Report
For the Quarter.
The directors of the Hospital society held
their regular quarterly meeting at the rooms
of the board of health, police building, last
evening. The following report was read
from the prudential committee by Mr.. Thos
Hooker:
"The number of patients admitted was
203, discharged 173, died 20: there were six
births. In the corresponding quarter of last
year the admissions were the same, 203, dis
charges 1866; there were % deaths. and four
births. The daily average this year was
90 Is; last year it was 1885, the smallest
average in any quarter since 1881, when it
was 81; in 1880 it was 81, in 1879 it was
65L. The number of admissions being the
same with the daily average SO much less in
dicates that the activity of service was greater
and shows q greater number of acute cases.
Elm the month of July the daily average
was but 88 $40 patients, being the lowest in
any one month since 1881. During about
five weeks of the quarter owing to the dimin-
ution of patients the Mansard ward No.
east was closed, thus reducing the working
expenses slightly. It is now, however, again
opened.
"The current receipts from patients were
81, $780, SO, the current expenditures IS, 098. 83,
being an excess of expenditures over receipts
of 81 1897. 95; last year the corresponding ex-
cess was $782.18. The daily average cost of
food per inmate was nearly 90 cents; last
year it was % 40 cents. The cause of the
very considerable deficit is due to the falling
off of receipts rather than to the increase of
expenses. The latter are $552.28 less than
last year, but the receipts are 81 ,008. 10 less.
Besides falling off in the current receipts
from patients the treasurer reports reduc.
ton of $500 in the income from banks"
N. g. Osborn of the Register was unani-
mously elected member of the board of vis-
itors.
Directly after the meeting of the directors
there was a special meeting of the General
Hospital society to take action with regard to
proposed addition to the hospital build
ings.
The society voted to locate the operating
amphitheater which Mrs. Henry Farnam pro-
poses to give on the Congress avenue lot,
twenty feet south of the present central tow
or. and to construct 1t essentially in accord
ance with the plans.
The plans were presented by Prof. Farnam.
The new building will cost $1,000.
It will FIJI long felt need at the hospital,
as there has been great lack of room to
Operate in.
General s. E. Merwir, president of the
Hospital society, Professor Henry w. Far
nam and DR.. Francis NJ Bacon, together
with the prudential committee, were ap-
pointed to see that the plans of the new
building were carried out.

The New Aerial Ladder and Truck
Changes Made In COnsequeMce.

The New Aerial Ladder and Truck
Changes Made I'm Consequence.
The new aerial ladder and truck, which
was purchased in Chicago some time age, goes
on duty this morning. 1t has been lying in
the supply house on Water street awaiting
the arrival of the new hose carriage with
combination ladders, which has come and is
now on duty in steamer 6's house on Division
street in Newhallville to relieve the truck,
which win not respond to boxes in-the sub
urbs only on second alarms or special calls.
One of these hose carriages is also at steamer
rs house On Howard avenue. This was
found necessary from the fact that the truck
is over one thousand pounds heavier than the
old truck. The old truck responded to all
boxes on this side of Mill river and covered
some eighty boxes in all. The new truck
will respond to but ffty-three boxes on the
first alarm. 1t is to be located at hook and
ladder rs house on Artisan street and will be
a decided improvement and addition to our
already finely equipped fire department.
The old truck at 2's house will be pat on
duty in Fair Haven. as it has more and bet-
ter ladders and appliances. The truck now
located there will be used as spare one.

ArD OF THE OLD VETERANS.

Thanks to b. Shoninger-He Pre-.

The executive committee on Admiral Foote
post fair of next month met in rooms 10 and
IL City Hall last evening.
Captain David S. Thomas reported that in
company with Mr.. Max Adler and Colonel
Simeon ]. Fox he visited the B. Shoninger
Organ company's Office, and Mr.. Shoninger
at once told them that one of the best organs
made by the company was at their disposal
for the fair. Captain Thomas afterwards re-
ceived the following letter from Mr.. Shon-
niger:
NEW HAVEN, Oct. 81, 1887.
D. s. Thomas, Chairman Soliciting Committee Ad-
Dear sir-Piease accept from me one Of our best
committee may think best well understand the
charitable object in view-that of assisting old and
inf1rm veterans of the war-and ! wish you every

niger.

them to Mr.. Shonlnger.
On motion of Colonel White, Captain
1lOH1dS was eupOW6T6u u - 6cCA0td-
ry to aid him in his position as chairman of
the soliciting committee.
Captain Thomas reported progress in the
choosing of the seventy five or more names
for the soliciting committee. The right men
will be obtained on this the most important
of all the committees.
The various subcommittee have not yet
all been chosen.
F. A. Waldron mentioned the advisability
of asking the aid of the Women's Auxiliary
corps connected with the posts and the Sons
of Veterans.
The prospects are that the fair will be one
of the largest ever given in the city
The choosing of the State House as the
place for holding the fair is now championed
by all. 1t can be transformed into a regular
floral bower. Its spaciousness will be found
great convenience when the question of ac-
commodating the thousands who will attend
the fair is taken into consideration.
If the gentlemen at the helm will perform
their duty faithfully and well, as they will,
the success of the grand fair is assured. 1t
is fair the proceeds of which will be used
for the best interest OF the old and infrm
veterans-truly worthy cause. Much has
been said and done in aid of the old veterans,
but theory is not what is wanted; it is prac-
tical, every day eharity-the charity which
lasteth. There is no doubt but that there is
responsive chord in the bosom of all New
Haveners for the old veterans. It but needs
to be struck Alright. The gentlemen on the
various committees are the ones who will be
delegated to do it. They should move with
vigor.
